Church in Laragh, County Wicklow

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Price (1958, 359) refers to ‘Father Shearman suggested in 1874, and it seems quite possible, that Laragh may be identified with Láthruch Da Arad, where Iserninus is said to have founded a church’. If this church is within Laragh townland, the exact location is unknown.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI043-029
